Gens' latest is a brutal action flick. A bit too brutal maybe, because even though the drama is effective, I'm not sure I needed that from an action film that's mostly serving kick-ass action scenes. Some emotional investment is definitely a plus, but the film gets pretty dark and nihilistic in places.
The performances are good (Lyes has charisma to spare), the action scenes go hard and the build-up is simple but fitting. Gens once again shows he can handle different genres and there are more than enough memorable scenes, but it would've been better if the film had been a tiny bit more "fun".
